For most of the monitoring probes you need to insall rhnmd daemon
on your client systems and copy public ssh key of nocpulse user
from your Spacewalk installation to all machines that run rhnmd.

See 
http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5.3/Reference_Guide/html/s1-mon-rhnmd.html
for more details.
